  • Who Does Jesus Belong To?

    John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.…

  • Toward Unfiltered Consciousness

    This morning I found myself stuck on The Root.  For those of you who have never heard of it, it is similar to The Huffington Post, but with articles that are more tailored to the interests of a largely African American audience.  Some of the articles that I got mesmerized by were a 4 page article on African…

  • Living for the Questions Dying for the Answers

    How frustrating would it be to be able to speak every language in the world fluently and yet have a language of your own that no one else could speak? Imagine that.  Here you are able to understand everyone in their native tongue, but no one can understand you when you speak yours.  What’s worse…

  • The Greatest Love of All

    Dedicated to the True Person of Whitney Houston If you’ve been hanging out here lately you might see a theme emerging.  But in case you aren’t catching on, here’s what’s going on.  I’ve been talking a lot about loving ourselves.  Why?  Well, I have come to the point where I think that our inability to…

  • The Reality of Diversity and Illusion

    Have you ever wondered why–in almost every environment–conversations and programs around diversity and inclusion are so difficult?  Why is it that despite efforts to make organizations more diverse, there seems to be little to no substantial development where it really counts?  Well, if you watched the above video, you know what my take is.  I…

  • Hate the World, Make It a Better Place

    There are whole industries dedicated to minimizing risk, variation, cost, and waste.  They fall under the umbrella of what is called “quality control” and when it comes to manufacturing products, I think that there is a brilliance to it that can be applauded.  It is so brilliant in fact that many people have integrated the…

  • What Is Real?

    In a facebook discussion, the question, “what is real?” came up.  The context was in regard to the reality of idealized experiences or what we actually experience in the the world.  We were also discussing how the survival mentality affected one’s experience of reality. The response I came up with is below. Sometimes when these…

  • Reflection on the Body of Christ and God’s Mysterious Ways

    Ever since returning from China I have been reflecting on the Pauline metaphor of the Body of Christ.  Meeting Christians in China was an amazing experience.  I felt love, the Presence of the Holy Spirit, and the most sincere desire of the people to spread the love of Christ among their people and the world. …

  • Nothing Is Never What We Think It Is

    If you don’t want to slap me for making the above video, then we are friends for life even if we never meet.  I can say that with honesty because if you can embrace the hub-bubbery that I spoke then it means that you are not living in the fear of loss and so we…

  • Abundance is Reality

    Warning:  If none of what I say in this post makes sense, then you probably read it correctly. What I am attempting to convey in this post can only be understood from the place of absolute inclusion–total Oneness, nothing left out. These words stand on the foundation that God is giving everything to everything and…
